O/T Junkyard ramp, skatepark of rust

I decided ro slow down on the cars a lil for the weekend, and build a little piece of neighborhood paradice for me and the local kids. We have a small skatepark in my town but the city has deemed it boards only. After whinning about it for 3 years i decided to build my own ramps for boarders, bladers, BMXers and scooters to all enjoy. Thus, the junkyard ramp is born. If anyone rides, skates or rolls and wants to tour my place feel free to come on by.

where at

 

Spokane wa. Deer park to be exact. P.M me and I will give you my number. bring your helmet if you got one.

 

Nice backyard you got there JS. By the look of that new house the neighbours are building they must have told the architect " no windows on that side " .

 

Not to be a kill joy....seems like a great idea and a service to the community.....BUT you got deep enough pockets for a lawsuit? In todays over litagous (sp) society it would make me think twice....

 

deer park huh im right off of half moon like 10 min away

 

missoula put in a beautiful cement skate park- no bmx/freestyle allowed- ****ers
thanks for thinking of the little guys. If it was still 1988, I would be begging my dad for a ride over to your place to ride the ramps!

 

Come on over. I have a waiver to sign to insure you dont sue me, and wear a helmet.

 

That's cool Jim.....how do ya find the time???
Say, I think a buddy of mine just bought a car from ya......haha.
I guess I shoulda tagged along for the ride...

 

Jim, now thats cool! But be both know where thats headed!!!

 

very cool man. i'm no boarder but doin somethin like that on yer own dime for strangers to enjoy is a rarity in this day and age. i can honestly say we need more people like you in this country.

 

Its not all for others. i ride my bike on it every day. Im no saint. i just like to have a little fun and share the fruits of my labor a little.

 

man how can you take a break you got so much cool stuff

 

Now time for a pump track!!!!! Check www.leelikesbikes.com

 

That looks fun hotrods and BMX got a spare room!

 

Australia is a long ways from Deer park, but if you are in the neighborhood, stop by.

 

There have been quite a few court case in the past few years that were thrown out because of the "inherent risk" ***ociated with certain activities.
And the fact that people are aware of the inherent risk Why do you think you've been seeing a rebirth of skateparks all over the place? As long as he maintains the ramps and is not negligent he'll be fine.

And how can misspell litigious with spell check built in?

 

Good for you. Keep the kids off the streets, and may even interest them in hot rods, keep 'em off imports and drugs. This guy should bring his son there:

there was a pink predator on craigslist I damn near bought last week...
and then... I spied a red Raleigh with white mags and tires...
what I really want is a pink HUTCH exel.
ok... see what you did?

thats rad dude... seriously.

 

Dirt jump park with 2 pump tracks. We built this at our local trails with the blessing of the city. Nice to have a pro helping, check www.bhmba.org

 

Man that is too cool of you

Rusty

 

I used to do BMX dirt jumping. My buddy had a track that went along the outside edge of his grandparents woods, about 4 acres total. There was a bobcat, a stack of rakes and shovels and you could run a hose to any part of it.
I haven't ridden in years now and all I have left is 1 old freestyle bike with no brakes.
I miss my left knee

 

thats a pretty cool thing you did, i just hope the skaters dont decide that they like your cars more than you do if you catch my drift...

 

A waiver will not save your *** in a lawsuit for injury incurred on your property. Check it with your lawyer. I know whereoff I speak!!!

 

and what is that supposed to mean? you got one old skater over here that's about to get pissed off if you are insinuating that skaters are thieves?

 

Some of the most famous trails in the world for BMX are right down the road from my house. The 401 Trails. They're on private property and have had no problems whatsoever.



And we won't even talk about the **** going on in Greenville NC. Crazy BMX stuff there.

We've gotten a lot of backyard skate spots that I frequent. No problems with anyone that has gotten hurt at these either.

Like the Crawdad Hole in my friend Robs backyard...



Don't let tails of getting h***led stop you, like I said in an earlier post if you look at what has been going on in the courts the last few years it's turning in our favor. Courts are ruling that if someone is aware of the inherent risks involved in something they are doing then they ***ume liability. But like I said you have to maintain the stuff so you're not negligent. This is how a lot of cities and towns are justifying the building of the new parks that are going up like wildfires.

 

That's cool Jim...some day one or two of these kids might "pay it forward" and do something cool for somebody.

When I was a kid in Fort Wayne, Indiana there was an old fella named Mr. Stover and we all were welcome at his place in the winter to ride our sleds at his place and his Mrs. would often have hot chocolate for all of us...one year he carved a zig zag trail back to the top so that it would be easier than trudgin through the snow...he always kept it clear with his snowblower...as I have gotten older I realize how cool and generous that was.

Jim you are a real cool guy, not only do you build some of the best cars on here but you make time to "give back" your neighbors. Wow!!! What a great guy.

 

that's cool! don't forget to let the guys with 1/8th scale nitro monster trucks hit those ramps, could get some serious air off those bad boys!
